The Mineralogy Collection is housed in the Department of Crystallography, Mineralogy and Mineral Deposits. With a total of almost 20,000 mineral samples, 7,000 thin sections and 3,000 polished sections, the collection brings together all internationally recognized mineral species and highlights both their aesthetic and scientific value as part of our international mineral heritage. Finally, the collection is also used in classes by teaching staff in the degrees of Geology and Geological Engineering.
